Answer #1

I believe the correct answers to be as follows:

Option ii) 5’ CCUCCAUGCCGCUAUACUUA 3’

Because both of these sequence have AUG codon that is a start codon and is needed by the ribosome to start the production of peptide. Option C can not be correct because it has UAA codon or stop codon next to AUG codon so the translation would stop right here and no peptide would be synthesized.

feel free to leave a comment down below for any further query. good rating would be appreciated if you find my answer helpful. thank you.
